Built by Henry Ford’s great grandson as his private estate, this extraordinary 67-acre property offers a rare combination of history, privacy, natural beauty, and self-sufficient country living just minutes from Alachua and Gainesville. A gated, lamp-lined drive winds beneath rows of producing pecan trees before arriving at the nearly 6,700-square-foot main residence, surrounded by creeks, ponds, mature woods, and sweeping views in nearly every direction. Inside, the six-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bath main home is defined by remarkable scale and craftsmanship, with rare heart-of-pine floors, generous living spaces, a billiards room, bonus room, and walls of windows framing the landscape beyond. The main living room overlooks a waterfall and picturesque swimming pond, while four expansive screened porches create nearly 2,000 additional square feet of outdoor living space. The nearly 1,200-square-foot primary suite feels like a private residence of its own. Three sets of French doors open to a porch overlooking the swimming pond, while a fireplace and sitting area create an intimate retreat. Two enormous custom closets lead to an equally impressive bath with dual water closets, mahogany and marble vanities, and a matching mahogany and marble soaking tub positioned to capture extraordinary views across the creek, pond, and pecan orchard. At the heart of the home, the kitchen pairs custom cherry cabinetry with a Wolf gas range, Sub-Zero refrigeration, warming drawer, two wine chillers, dual sinks, a large island, walk-in pantry, and dedicated coffee bar. Across the swimming pond, a roughly 650-square-foot pool house and expansive decks create another exceptional destination on the property—ideal as a gym, private office, guest retreat, or transformed into a spectacular indoor/outdoor entertaining space. Continue across the bridge and through the trees to discover a secluded two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath guest house with its own two-stall barn. Elsewhere, an oversized climate-controlled garage, large air-conditioned bunker, and more than 5,000 square feet of covered pole barns provide exceptional space for vehicles, equipment, storage, horses, and recreational toys. The land itself is every bit as compelling as the residences. Acres of producing pecan trees provide agricultural property tax exemptions, while two natural creeks, a stocked fishing pond, open pasture, wooded acreage, and abundant wildlife create a setting that feels worlds away. Extensive solar, buried propane, a multi-thousand-gallon water tank, generator, fuel storage, and a working windmill and pump provide the infrastructure for an almost entirely self-sufficient lifestyle. In total, the estate offers eight bedrooms, seven full and two half baths across multiple structures, with extraordinary flexibility for multigenerational living, guests, recreation, equestrian use, or simply disappearing into your own private piece of Florida. All of this, just 7 minutes from downtown Alachua and approximately 10 minutes from I-75—a legacy estate with a story, scale, and sense of place that would be nearly impossible to recreate today.

Virtually Staged. The land is the lead! What you choose to do with it is the question... Six picturesque acres dotted with beautiful mature Live Oaks create a setting that feels established, private and distinctly North Florida, with plenty of room to build your forever home tucked among the oaks. Already in place near the front of the property is a charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage, with terrazzo floors and a tin roof (of course), giving you the unusual opportunity to live on the property while planning and building your dream home farther back on the acreage. Keep the cottage afterward for guests, extended family, an office or other possibilities. The property’s collection of additional structures adds even more versatility. You’ll find a separate two-car sized storage building, additional storage space, an old tobacco barn that adds character to the property, and a newer 20' x 40' pole barn—useful space for equipment, projects, hobbies or simply the things that come with owning six acres. And while the setting feels decidedly rural, you’re not giving up everyday convenience. Downtown Alachua is just minutes away. 8 minutes to Publix, Lowes, Progress Corporate Park, and I-75. 20 minutes to North Florida Hospital. 25 minutes to UF. If you’ve been looking for acreage where you can live comfortably now while creating something more over time, this property gives you both the setting and the flexibility to make that happen.

Set on five fully fenced acres within a gated community - and tucked behind its own private gated entrance- this 2022-built pool home is defined by an extraordinary sense of scale, privacy, and space. Twelve-foot ceilings extend throughout the main level before soaring to 20+ feet in the dramatic cathedral-ceiling living room, where walls of windows frame views across the pool, sprawling backyard, and granddaddy oaks beyond. Inside, wide-plank white oak engineered hardwood floors carry throughout an exceptionally spacious four-way split floor plan designed to provide both openness and separation. At the heart of the home, the kitchen features porcelain countertops, stainless steel appliances, a six-burner gas range, a center island, and a breakfast bar with seating for four. The kitchen opens directly into the remarkable 38’ x 24’ living room, creating one expansive gathering space filled with natural light and views of the property from nearly every angle. Privately positioned on the north side of the home, the primary suite is truly its own wing. A 12-foot walk-in closet leads to the bedroom, which opens onto a private screened porch overlooking the grounds. The primary bath is equally generous, with two extensive vanities, a jetted soaking tub, and an oversized frameless glass shower with multiple shower heads. Across the home, two additional bedrooms share a full bath, while a second primary suite is tucked behind the kitchen- complete with another oversized walk-in closet and private bath featuring a tub and frameless glass shower. Four bedrooms and three full baths are located on the first floor, while upstairs, a spacious bonus room offers flexibility for an office, media room, gym, additional living space, or a fifth bedroom. An exceptionally large laundry room provides abundant storage and enough space to accommodate a second washer and dryer set. Outside, the scale continues. The entire five-acre property is fenced, with expansive lawns surrounding the home and no neighboring residence directly behind it. Instead, the backyard opens to mature trees, granddaddy oaks, and the pool, creating a setting that feels remarkably private while still being part of a gated community. All of this is located exceptionally close to everything- just 7 minutes to downtown Alachua and 10 minutes to town of tioga and I-75.
